Jeter's Next Big Swing

"I don't miss playings," says the retired Yankee, as the press-shy captain leads website The Players' Tribune, where DeAndre Jordan and Tiger Woods break news (sorry, ESPN) and backers are betting on a media home run

According to an official statement from Disney, “Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, the musical mastermind behind Disney’s and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ Pirates of the Caribbean, has signed on to compose the score for The Lone Ranger. Jack White, who had originally been contemplated to score and has contributed several pieces of music to the production, was logistically unavailable due to scheduling conflicts that arose when the film’s release moved to July of 2013.”

The film was originally due for a May 2013 release date. Although Indiewire noted that some of White's songs may remain in the final film, the difference between Zimmer and White does feel fairly drastic. This would have been White's debut film as a composer.

Zimmer has experience working with Verbinski on the director's The Weather Man, Rango and Pirates of the Caribbean films.
